I sincerely hope it was because they're working out the kinks, but our visit last weekend was a big disappointment. We love the pistachio macarons and we seemed to have gotten an old batch (maybe it was overcooked? The normal crunchy/chewy delight was replaced by a solid, crumbly bite) for more than $2 a cookie, it HAS to be right! - The ladies who waited on us seemed like we were a bit of a bother and they were NOT busy - the seating isn't as cozy as the Noda or Fort Mill locations, but it's a bigger space - so I can appreciate they're fine tuning. The overwhelming smell of floor varnish was a little disruptive too -but I trust this will pass as time goes on. The water station/trash can debacle mentioned by others is accurate (even on a Sunday evening when it's not jam packed).
